Chael Sonnen hasn’t exactly made a lot of friends in Brazil with the method of trash talk he has used to build up his fights with Anderson Silva. Currently, Sonnen is preparing for his rematch with Silva at UFC 148.
Wanderlei Silva is a Brazilian fighting legend, and he’s certainly no fan of Chael. The former PRIDE champion went off about the middleweight number one contender on a radio appearance on The MMA Show with Mauro Renallo:
“He fights with his mouth. He’s not a top guy. He creates that style and looks for guys to give attention to him. But face to face, he’s like a kid. He’ll cry like a baby, man. I don’t know what kind of man can say something bad about you then say, ‘Hey Wanderlei, let’s shake hands.’ F** you man. You talked some bad things. I’m old school. You’re talking some bulls*** about me, don’t shake my hand. This guy lost respect from me. Not one fighter respects him. I don’t like his style and I hope Anderson Silva kicks his ass. I think Anderson will be knock out Chael in the third round.”
